Label	London

Waltzing with Mantovani is an album by Mantovani and His Orchestra. It was released in June 1951 by London Recordings (catalog no. LB 381).

A review in The Ottawa Citizen noted: "Mantovani, a violinist, has surrounded himself with a very fine group of instrumentalists and the result is full-toned pleasure. There are no fancy arrangements in Mantovani's work. He turns out waltz tempos that are a pleasure for dancing or just plain listening."

Another review, in The Vancouver Sun, called it a "pleasant item" with "exceptionally fine recording."

The song, "Charmaine", was also released as a single and spent 19 weeks on the singles chart starting in November 1951; it peaked at No. 10.
